I guess the question is ... what kind of salt water tank? ... as this will dictate a lot of what you really need and ultimately a lot of your costs....
We use a mag-float and leave it in the tank pretty much full time. The inside part is totally covered in purple coralline algae now. It also doubles...
Yeah, growth is one aspect of it. Some corals can grow and shade out others below them (eg Sarcophytons do this commonly). Also, there really can be...
Often times purple and red coralline algae appear lime colored as they begin to colonize new areas of rock. I have yet to appreciate this phenomenon...
Sorry about the wait... We have what I think are Atlantic pistol shrimp. They came with the LR from Florida. They are mostly orange-reddish in color...
Hey everyone, We've got four peppermints, two skunk cleaners, and at least two pistols in our tank. All are doing great. There is the occasional...
We ran into a similar problem in our tank. We have the aquarium pharmaceuticals (the one on the right) and a red sea test. The Aquarium...

Just noticed a nice design feature. Built into the back of the canopy/lid is an extra rubber seal to accomodate a power cord for a heater or other...
Tried this stuff yesterday on two Mojanos that came on some of our recent frags. Works wonderfully. They really do eat it. However, I had some stray...
Hey, We just added another 20# of live sand to our tank yesterday. Our start-up live sand (from Tampa Bay Saltwater) had quite large particle sizes,...
Hey everyone, Why is it that my cukes spend the vast majority of their time stuck on the aquarium glass? Just wondering if this is normal or...
When I researched my R/O unit, most had 3:1to 5:1 ratios of waste to product. There are uses for the "waste" water though - dishes,...
I went to the LFS yesterday ... They had a SeaTest low range nitrate test, but the kit was dated 1993 :o :o. Looking into the fine print of the...
Here's some of the answers to your questions ... I honestly never thought about trying a different test kit. Mostly because when we checked our...
